While pulling out my Fall decor I found these pump

While pulling out my Fall decor I found these pumpkins that I have had for over a decade. I was inspired by some other glass pumpkins I had recently seen that were hand painted and I decided to add a little whimsy to mine. I chose simple craft paint that would could remove later if I wanted to with some water and soap.
Colors: Folkart - Linen Toile, Americana - Burnt Sienna and Light Avocado. It was an easy project that took an hour at most and I think they’re so cute!

Sharing 3 tips for your paint roller!

1. Choose the correct nap for your project. The nap refers to the length/thickness of the fabric on your roller. The more texture you have on a wall, the higher nap you should choose. If you want the smoothest finish possible, choose a very short nap.
2. Use tinfoil to line your paint tray. You will be able to use the tray over and over again and have a no-mess clean up. Environmentally better than washing paint down the drain.
3. If you aren’t done with your project, wrap your roller in tinfoil and plastic (old grocery bag will do fine) and store your roller in a fridge. The humidity will keep the paint from drying out and this will work for days!!

Kids are amazing AND they are always watching and

Kids are amazing AND they are always watching and learning from us. Whether we intend it or not.
What do I hope my children have learned over the many years and many projects together?
I want them to know that they can do hard things. I want them to know it’s ok to fail, but they have to keep trying. I want them to know that they can do ANYTHING they put their minds to. I want them to be FEARLESS. And I want them to believe in themselves-always.

What are you afraid of?? Me? I was afraid to transition over to using a table saw. I have been DIYing for YEARS and have been really comfortable with what I know. But I wanted more! So I bought the darn table saw.

I was so afraid to use it!! Best advice from a woodworker? Don’t fear it, respect it. I was so nervous to power it up so I read the instruction manual thoroughly and watched countless YouTube videos to learn how to set it up and use it correctly. Other than the one video that said having a table saw will kill me 😂 I felt so encouraged and empowered.

My point? Everyone has their own journey. No matter what it is, the hard thing because you are the only one standing in your own way of growing.
